Silverleigh Care Home

When this was a pub known as the Cedars, a few incidents were reported in the early to mid 1990s. Weird Wiltshire reports some tales from an ex-barman nicknamed Barnsey; "There were electrical issues in the bar and kitchen area of the pub that could never be resolved. An ice machine would often malfunction, despite being regularly serviced by a professional technician. Alarmingly, a coffee and tea vending machine once sprayed Barnesy with boiling water, at exactly the time he was discussing with his colleagues the possibility that the hotel was haunted ... The strangest of Barnesy’s experiences in this establishment happened down in the bar area one night after closing. John, the then owner of the hotel and Darren were chatting with Barnesy about some potential renovations, knocking two rooms into one. It was at this point that one of three heavy portrait paintings, that were securely hung on hooks, launched itself from the wall. It crashed down onto two tables, two or three feet away. The painting wasn’t damaged, the hooks were still in place. No one had even been near the painting for hours." It is not known if there were any incidents after this, either in the pub or the care home that now occupies the site.
